Every year, national parks are crowded with visitors. Here are the top four named by The National Park Service.
Glacier National Park
In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails（路线）, and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages.
Grand Canyon National Park
First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft（漂流）the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above.
Yellowstone National Park
The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October.
Yosemite National Park
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance.
1. Which park may attract people interested in water activities
A. Glacier National Park. B. Yosemite National Park.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Grand Canyon National Park.
2. What does Yellowstone National Park feature
A. Free activities. B. Popular hotels.
C. Hot springs. D. Air tours.
3. What do the four national parks have in common
A. They provide hiking trails. B. They suit tourists of all ages.

B
Working at an investment bank in New York City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”
While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. Sacks’s videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume you can see ways you improve,” she says.
4. What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”
A. Her desire to live a richer life. B. The great need for household stuff.
C. Her involvement in a project. D. The wish to be an Internet star.
5 What do Sacks’ videos focus on
A. Funny stories. B. Views on consumption.
C. Educational courses. D. Solutions to problems.
6. How does Sacks deal with her trash
A. She donates all to the charity. B. She keeps most for her family.
C. She gives away much to others. D. She sells some to individuals.
7 What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash.
B. Trash Walking: A Tough Journey.
C. Trash Walker: Live in the Moment.
D. Trash Walking: A New Career.
C
When you eagerly dig into a long-anticipated dinner, signals from your stomach to your brain keep you from eating so much that you’ll regret it—or so it’s been thought. That theory had never really been directly tested until a team of scientists at University of California, San Francisco recently took up the question.
The team, led by Zachary Knight, a professor of UCSF physiology discovered that our tastebuds (味蕾) are the first line of defense against eating too fast. The study, published in the journal Nature, provides scientists with a novel perspective on how we control our appetite and could make clear the efficacy of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
Truong Ly, PhD, a graduate student in Knight’s lab, developed new techniques allowing for the imaging and recording of a brainstem structure critical for feeling full in an awake, active mouse. The team found that when they put food directly into the mouse’s stomach, brain cells called PRLH which influences appetite were activated by nutrient signals sent from the stomach, in line with traditional thinking and the results of prior studies. However, when they allowed the mice to eat the food as they normally would, those signals from the stomach didn’t show up. Instead, the PRLH brain cells switched to a new activity pattern that was entirely controlled by signals from the mouth.
“It was a total surprise that these cells were provoked by sense of taste,” said Ly. “It shows that there are other components of the appetite-control system that we should be thinking about.” The research indicates that when we’re hungry, our brain uses taste in two different ways at the same time—one telling us to eat more because it tastes good, and another part is watching how fast you’re eating and saying, “Slow down or you’re going to be sick.”
The research indicates that our brain integrates taste, rather than only relying on stomach signaling, to control eating behavior. The team plans to investigate how taste signals interact with feedback from the stomach to suppress (抑制) our appetite during a meal.
8. What does the study conducted by UCSF find
A. Ozempic is effective in weight loss. B. Stomachs have effects on our appetite.
C. Sense of taste can affect the speed of eating. D. The expectation for dinner influences food intake.
9. What can we learn about PRLH brain cells in paragraph 3
A. They are crucial to providing nutrients.
B. Their activities can also be ruled by taste signals.
C. Their functions are determined by regular meals.
D. They can be improved by signals from stomach and taste.
10. What does the underlined word “provoke” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Stimulate. B. Damage. C. Manage. D. Restrict.
11. What will the following research be about
A. Stomach feedback for appetite. B. Interaction of taste and stomach.
C. The functions of taste signals. D. Development of weight-loss drugs.
D
All the hard work that you’ve spent making strong passwords, combining pet names with numbers, symbols and birthdates could all soon be for nothing as a new artificial intelligence (AI) model achieves a 95% accuracy of understanding keystrokes (按键).
At least that’s the extreme view of a team of British researchers. Using a deep learning model, they were able to steal data from a laptop’s keyboard using a microphone to understand what is being typed. This, in theory, would allow hackers who were able to gain access to your laptop to obtain what is being typed including messages and passwords.
The first step for this attack to work is by recording the keystrokes on someone’s keyboard. This is needed to train the algorithm (计算程序). While this could be done from the laptop’s microphone, it could equally be achieved by placing a smartphone near the computer. By pressing 36 keys on a modern MacBook Pro 25 times each and recording the sounds produced, the researchers gained a full set of training data. This information is turned into waveforms to show identifiable differences between each key. With this information in hand, they could then build a machine-learning model to understand which of these waveforms lines up with which key.
“If you get enough data, a model can be built pretty easily,” Oli Buckley, a professor of Internet security. “If it works on one keyboard, it will likely work on the next. The MacBook has a nice, quiet keyboard, so the idea is that if it works on something quiet, it will have a wide-reaching ability on louder keyboards”.
While this all sounds pretty scary, not to mention a new form of hacking (侵入) to look out for, it isn’t quite as worrying as it sounds.
“A good sample of data is needed for it to work, so this changes if you’re using a Dell, a MacBook or an external keyboard. Also, factors change. Some people type louder and harder, or my keyboards full of cat hair so that impacts things slightly”, says Buckley.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Why protective steps are needed.
B. Why a set of training data is vital.
C. How you document secret information.
D. How hackers gain data from targeted computers.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The keyboard. B. The model. C. The waveform. D. The computer.
14. What do Buckley’s words imply in the last paragraph
A. AI understands exactly what you’re typing.
B. Purchasing expensive computer is necessary.
C. Cats play an important role in privacy protection.
D. Building an accurate dataset through keystrokes is not easy.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A scary danger is on the way.
B. A new form of hacking troubles us.
C. AI can transform the digital world in a big way.
D. AI can discover passwords by listening to you type.

When David was a boy, he was embarrassed to be seen walking with his father. His father was short and severely crippled (跛腿的). When the father and the son walked along the street together, the father’s hand was on David’s arm for balance, which attracted a lot of unwanted attention. At that moment, David always felt ashamed and wanted to run away. But the father said: “We just walk differently.”
Almost every weekday David had to accompany his father to go to work. Their usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how his father got to work. It was hard for the father to walk, but he stuck to work, even if he was sick or the weather was bad. He never missed a day.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with others’ help. At such times David would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh (雪橇) to the subway entrance. Once there, the father would cling to (抓住) the handrail until he reached the lower steps where the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. Fortunately, the subway station was the basement of his office building. After arriving at his office, he would not have to go outside again until David met him to go home. However, he had never complained, instead, he always said: “There is always a way to arrive.”
One Friday, when they walked back home as usual, David looked upset. His father asked the boy whether he met something terrible. David lowered his head and said nothing. “My dear, maybe I can give you a hand.” said the father. “No. You cannot.” the boy sobbed. Then the two men went on walking silently. After getting home, the father received a call from David’s teacher. He was informed there would be a parent-child football game next Friday on the school playground, and he was expected to take part.

Working at an investment bank in New York City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”
While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. Sacks’s videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
4. What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”
A. Her desire to live a richer life. B. The great need for household stuff.
C. Her involvement in a project. D. The wish to be an Internet star.
5. What do Sacks’ videos focus on
A. Funny stories. B. Views on consumption.
C. Educational courses. D. Solutions to problems.
6. How does Sacks deal with her trash
A. She donates all to the charity. B. She keeps most for her family.
C. She gives away much to others. D. She sells some to individuals.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash.
B. Trash Walking: A Tough Journey.
C. Trash Walker: Live in the Moment.
D. Trash Walking: A New Career.

When you eagerly dig into a long-anticipated dinner, signals from your stomach to your brain keep you from eating so much that you’ll regret it—or so it’s been thought. That theory had never really been directly tested until a team of scientists at University of California, San Francisco recently took up the question.
The team, led by Zachary Knight, a professor of UCSF physiology discovered that our tastebuds (味蕾) are the first line of defense against eating too fast. The study, published in the journal Nature, provides scientists with a novel perspective on how we control our appetite and could make clear the efficacy of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
Truong Ly, PhD, a graduate student in Knight’s lab, developed new techniques allowing for the imaging and recording of a brainstem structure critical for feeling full in an awake, active mouse. The team found that when they put food directly into the mouse’s stomach, brain cells called PRLH which influences appetite were activated by nutrient signals sent from the stomach, in line with traditional thinking and the results of prior studies. However, when they allowed the mice to eat the food as they normally would, those signals from the stomach didn’t show up. Instead, the PRLH brain cells switched to a new activity pattern that was entirely controlled by signals from the mouth.
“It was a total surprise that these cells were provoked by sense of taste,” said Ly. “It shows that there are other components of the appetite-control system that we should be thinking about.” The research indicates that when we’re hungry, our brain uses taste in two different ways at the same time—one telling us to eat more because it tastes good, and another part is watching how fast you’re eating and saying, “Slow down or you’re going to be sick.”
The research indicates that our brain integrates taste, rather than only relying on stomach signaling, to control eating behavior. The team plans to investigate how taste signals interact with feedback from the stomach to suppress (抑制) our appetite during a meal.
8. What does the study conducted by UCSF find
A. Ozempic is effective in weight loss. B. Stomachs have effects on our appetite.
C. Sense of taste can affect the speed of eating. D. The expectation for dinner influences food intake.
9. What can we learn about PRLH brain cells in paragraph 3
A. They are crucial to providing nutrients.
B. Their activities can also be ruled by taste signals.
C Their functions are determined by regular meals.
D. They can be improved by signals from stomach and taste.
10. What does the underlined word “provoke” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Stimulate. B. Damage. C. Manage. D. Restrict.
11. What will the following research be about
A. Stomach feedback for appetite. B. Interaction of taste and stomach.

All the hard work that you’ve spent making strong passwords, combining pet names with numbers, symbols and birthdates could all soon be for nothing as a new artificial intelligence (AI) model achieves a 95% accuracy of understanding keystrokes (按键).
At least that’s the extreme view of a team of British researchers. Using a deep learning model, they were able to steal data from a laptop’s keyboard using a microphone to understand what is being typed. This, in theory, would allow hackers who were able to gain access to your laptop to obtain what is being typed including messages and passwords.
The first step for this attack to work is by recording the keystrokes on someone’s keyboard. This is needed to train the algorithm (计算程序). While this could be done from the laptop’s microphone, it could equally be achieved by placing a smartphone near the computer. By pressing 36 keys on a modern MacBook Pro 25 times each and recording the sounds produced, the researchers gained a full set of training data. This information is turned into waveforms to show identifiable differences between each key. With this information in hand, they could then build a machine-learning model to understand which of these waveforms lines up with which key.
“If you get enough data, a model can be built pretty easily,” Oli Buckley, a professor of Internet security. “If it works on one keyboard, it will likely work on the next. The MacBook has a nice, quiet keyboard, so the idea is that if it works on something quiet, it will have a wide-reaching ability on louder keyboards”.
While this all sounds pretty scary, not to mention a new form of hacking (侵入) to look out for, it isn’t quite as worrying as it sounds.
“A good sample of data is needed for it to work, so this changes if you’re using a Dell, a MacBook or an external keyboard. Also, factors change. Some people type louder and harder, or my keyboards full of cat hair so that impacts things slightly”, says Buckley.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Why protective steps are needed.
B. Why a set of training data is vital.
C. How you document secret information.
D How hackers gain data from targeted computers.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The keyboard. B. The model. C. The waveform. D. The computer.
14. What do Buckley’s words imply in the last paragraph
A. AI understands exactly what you’re typing.
B. Purchasing expensive computer is necessary.
C. Cats play an important role in privacy protection.
D. Building an accurate dataset through keystrokes is not easy.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A scary danger is on the way.
B. A new form of hacking troubles us.
C. AI can transform the digital world in a big way.
D. AI can discover passwords by listening to you type.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When David was a boy, he was embarrassed to be seen walking with his father. His father was short and severely crippled (跛腿的). When the father and the son walked along the street together, the father’s hand was on David’s arm for balance, which attracted a lot of unwanted attention. At that moment, David always felt ashamed and wanted to run away. But the father said: “We just walk differently.”
Almost every weekday David had to accompany his father to go to work. Their usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how his father got to work. It was hard for the father to walk, but he stuck to work, even if he was sick or the weather was bad. He never missed a day.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with others’ help. At such times David would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh (雪橇) to the subway entrance. Once there, the father would cling to (抓住) the handrail until he reached the lower steps where the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. Fortunately, the subway station was the basement of his office building. After arriving at his office, he would not have to go outside again until David met him to go home. However, he had never complained, instead, he always said: “There is always a way to arrive.”
One Friday, when they walked back home as usual, David looked upset. His father asked the boy whether he met something terrible. David lowered his head and said nothing. “My dear, maybe I can give you a hand.” said the father. “No. You cannot.” the boy sobbed. Then the two men went on walking silently. After getting home, the father received a call from David’s teacher. He was informed there would be a parent-child football game next Friday on the school playground, and he was expected to take part.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】(One possible version)
After saying thanks to the teacher, the father went to the sobbing David. Knowing why the boy was unhappy, the father tried to hug him. However, the boy pushed him wildly. “David, I have told you ‘we just walk differently’”, said the father. Tom refused to answer and went on sobbing. What’s worse, the boy couldn’t sleep the whole night, he could even imagine how his classmates and their parents laughed at his father on the playground. Soon came the big day, the boy chose to go to school alone. Unexpectedly, on arriving at the school playground, he saw his father had been there!
David watched as his father was standing on the playground with other parents. His father seemed to be discussing something with other adults. After the game began, the parents and the children competed on the playground wildly and happily. Meanwhile, David’s father and his partners were busy peeling the fruit and making juice. The game was over, most of the players flooding to enjoy juice. Looking at people’s smiling faces, David understood his father’s words. Noticing David, the father smiled to him, and the boy decided to join him.

Every year, national parks are crowded with visitors. Here are the top four named by The National Park Service.
Glacier National Park
In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails（路线）, and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages.
Grand Canyon National Park
First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft（漂流）the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above.
Yellowstone National Park
The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October.
Yosemite National Park
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance.

All the hard work that you’ve spent making strong passwords, combining pet names with numbers, symbols and birthdates could all soon be for nothing as a new artificial intelligence (AI) model achieves a 95% accuracy of understanding keystrokes (按键).
At least that’s the extreme view of a team of British researchers. Using a deep learning model, they were able to steal data from a laptop’s keyboard using a microphone to understand what is being typed. This, in theory, would allow hackers who were able to gain access to your laptop to obtain what is being typed including messages and passwords.
The first step for this attack to work is by recording the keystrokes on someone’s keyboard. This is needed to train the algorithm (计算程序). While this could be done from the laptop’s microphone, it could equally be achieved by placing a smartphone near the computer. By pressing 36 keys on a modern MacBook Pro 25 times each and recording the sounds produced, the researchers gained a full set of training data. This information is turned into waveforms to show identifiable differences between each key. With this information in hand, they could then build a machine-learning model to understand which of these waveforms lines up with which key.
“If you get enough data, a model can be built pretty easily,” Oli Buckley, a professor of Internet security. “If it works on one keyboard, it will likely work on the next. The MacBook has a nice, quiet keyboard, so the idea is that if it works on something quiet, it will have a wide-reaching ability on louder keyboards”.
While this all sounds pretty scary, not to mention a new form of hacking (侵入) to look out for, it isn’t quite as worrying as it sounds.
“A good sample of data is needed for it to work, so this changes if you’re using a Dell, a MacBook or an external keyboard. Also, factors change. Some people type louder and harder, or my keyboards full of cat hair so that impacts things slightly”, says Buckley.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Why protective steps are needed.
B. Why a set of training data is vital.
C. How you document secret information.
D. How hackers gain data from targeted computers.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The keyboard. B. The model. C. The waveform. D. The computer.
14. What do Buckley’s words imply in the last paragraph
A. AI understands exactly what you’re typing.
B. Purchasing expensive computer is necessary.
C. Cats play an important role in privacy protection.
D. Building an accurate dataset through keystrokes is not easy.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A scary danger is on the way.
B. A new form of hacking troubles us.
C. AI can transform the digital world in a big way.
D. AI can discover passwords by listening to you type.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When David was a boy, he was embarrassed to be seen walking with his father. His father was short and severely crippled (跛腿的). When the father and the son walked along the street together, the father’s hand was on David’s arm for balance, which attracted a lot of unwanted attention. At that moment, David always felt ashamed and wanted to run away. But the father said: “We just walk differently.”
Almost every weekday David had to accompany his father to go to work. Their usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how his father got to work. It was hard for the father to walk, but he stuck to work, even if he was sick or the weather was bad. He never missed a day.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with others’ help. At such times David would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh (雪橇) to the subway entrance. Once there, the father would cling to (抓住) the handrail until he reached the lower steps where the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. Fortunately, the subway station was the basement of his office building. After arriving at his office, he would not have to go outside again until David met him to go home. However, he had never complained, instead, he always said: “There is always a way to arrive.”
One Friday, when they walked back home as usual, David looked upset. His father asked the boy whether he met something terrible. David lowered his head and said nothing. “My dear, maybe I can give you a hand.” said the father. “No. You cannot.” the boy sobbed. Then the two men went on walking silently. After getting home, the father received a call from David’s teacher. He was informed there would be a parent-child football game next Friday on the school playground, and he was expected to take part.

A
Every year, national parks are crowded with visitors. Here are the top four named by The National Park Service.
Glacier National Park
In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails（路线）, and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages.
Grand Canyon National Park
First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft（漂流）the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above.
Yellowstone National Park
The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October.
Yosemite National Park
First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance.
1. Which park may attract people interested in water activities
A. Glacier National Park. B. Yosemite National Park.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Grand Canyon National Park.
2. What does Yellowstone National Park feature
A. Free activities. B. Popular hotels.

Working at an investment bank in New York City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. The Adamah program opened Sacks’s eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. From then on, she began what she calls “trash (垃圾) walking.”
While walking around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through rubbish to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company rubbish along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff—like clothing, dinnerware, and food—all of which she documents on Instagram and TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her educational, funny, and surprising videos that highlight the problems with consumerism and share information about how to live a more sustainable life. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. Sacks’s videos have gone viral many times, causing shockwaves through the industries she calls out.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much of her “treasure” with others. She tries giving them informally to family, friends, or individuals she knows may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items to free stores so other New Yorkers can benefit from her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
4. What inspired Sacks to begin her “trash walking”
A. Her desire to live a richer life. B. The great need for household stuff.
C. Her involvement in a project. D. The wish to be an Internet star.
5. What do Sacks’ videos focus on
A. Funny stories. B. Views on consumption.
C. Educational courses. D. Solutions to problems.
6. How does Sacks deal with her trash
A. She donates all to the charity. B. She keeps most for her family.
C. She gives away much to others. D. She sells some to individuals.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Trash Walker: Find Treasure in Trash.
B. Trash Walking: A Tough Journey.
C. Trash Walker: Live in the Moment.
D. Trash Walking: A New Career.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A
C
When you eagerly dig into a long-anticipated dinner, signals from your stomach to your brain keep you from eating so much that you’ll regret it—or so it’s been thought. That theory had never really been directly tested until a team of scientists at University of California, San Francisco recently took up the question.
The team, led by Zachary Knight, a professor of UCSF physiology discovered that our tastebuds (味蕾) are the first line of defense against eating too fast. The study, published in the journal Nature, provides scientists with a novel perspective on how we control our appetite and could make clear the efficacy of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
Truong Ly, PhD, a graduate student in Knight’s lab, developed new techniques allowing for the imaging and recording of a brainstem structure critical for feeling full in an awake, active mouse. The team found that when they put food directly into the mouse’s stomach, brain cells called PRLH which influences appetite were activated by nutrient signals sent from the stomach, in line with traditional thinking and the results of prior studies. However, when they allowed the mice to eat the food as they normally would, those signals from the stomach didn’t show up. Instead, the PRLH brain cells switched to a new activity pattern that was entirely controlled by signals from the mouth.
“It was a total surprise that these cells were provoked by sense of taste,” said Ly. “It shows that there are other components of the appetite-control system that we should be thinking about.” The research indicates that when we’re hungry, our brain uses taste in two different ways at the same time—one telling us to eat more because it tastes good, and another part is watching how fast you’re eating and saying, “Slow down or you’re going to be sick.”
The research indicates that our brain integrates taste, rather than only relying on stomach signaling, to control eating behavior. The team plans to investigate how taste signals interact with feedback from the stomach to suppress (抑制) our appetite during a meal.
8. What does the study conducted by UCSF find
A. Ozempic is effective in weight loss. B. Stomachs have effects on our appetite.
C. Sense of taste can affect the speed of eating. D. The expectation for dinner influences food intake.
9. What can we learn about PRLH brain cells in paragraph 3
A. They are crucial to providing nutrients.
B. Their activities can also be ruled by taste signals.
C Their functions are determined by regular meals.
D. They can be improved by signals from stomach and taste.
10. What does the underlined word “provoke” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Stimulate. B. Damage. C. Manage. D. Restrict.
11. What will the following research be about
A. Stomach feedback for appetite. B. Interaction of taste and stomach.
C. The functions of taste signals. D. Development of weight-loss drugs.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When David was a boy, he was embarrassed to be seen walking with his father. His father was short and severely crippled (跛腿的). When the father and the son walked along the street together, the father’s hand was on David’s arm for balance, which attracted a lot of unwanted attention. At that moment, David always felt ashamed and wanted to run away. But the father said: “We just walk differently.”
Almost every weekday David had to accompany his father to go to work. Their usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how his father got to work. It was hard for the father to walk, but he stuck to work, even if he was sick or the weather was bad. He never missed a day.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with others’ help. At such times David would pull him through the streets on a child’s sleigh (雪橇) to the subway entrance. Once there, the father would cling to (抓住) the handrail until he reached the lower steps where the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. Fortunately, the subway station was the basement of his office building. After arriving at his office, he would not have to go outside again until David met him to go home. However, he had never complained, instead, he always said: “There is always a way to arrive.”
One Friday, when they walked back home as usual, David looked upset. His father asked the boy whether he met something terrible. David lowered his head and said nothing. “My dear, maybe I can give you a hand.” said the father. “No. You cannot.” the boy sobbed. Then the two men went on walking silently. After getting home, the father received a call from David’s teacher. He was informed there would be a parent-child football game next Friday on the school playground, and he was expected to take part.

However, the boy pushed him wildly. “David, I have told you ‘we just walk differently’”, said the father. Tom refused to answer and went on sobbing. What’s worse, the boy couldn’t sleep the whole night, he could even imagine how his classmates and their parents laughed at his father on the playground. Soon came the big day, the boy chose to go to school alone. Unexpectedly, on arriving at the school playground, he saw his father had been there!
David watched as his father was standing on the playground with other parents. His father seemed to be discussing something with other adults. After the game began, the parents and the children competed on the playground wildly and happily. Meanwhile, David’s father and his partners were busy peeling the fruit and making juice. The game was over, most of the players flooding to enjoy juice. Looking at people’s smiling faces, David understood his father’s words. Noticing David, the father smiled to him, and the boy decided to join him.
